Many people like to soak water from very hot to very cold, and some even keep heating it for an hour or two, which is not right. It is recommended to soak your feet for 30 to 45 minutes every day or every other day. However, the elderly should be reminded that the foot bath time should be shorter, because the elderly foot bath time is too long, which is easy to cause symptoms such as sweating and palpitations. Therefore, it is advisable for the elderly to soak their feet for 20 minutes before going to bed every day.
The best time to soak your feet: choose 9: 00 pm because your kidneys are weak at this time. At this time, after soaking feet, the heat in the body increases, and the blood vessels in the body will expand, which is conducive to promoting blood circulation in the body. At the same time, the nerves and kidneys of a day can be completely relaxed and fully adjusted at this time to achieve the best effect of nourishing kidneys, and people will feel comfortable. Avoid soaking feet when you are full, hungry or eating. It is not advisable to soak your feet within half an hour after a meal, which will affect the blood supply to your stomach.
It is no problem for healthy people to soak their feet in hot springs, but special people should pay attention. For example, patients with heart disease, cardiac insufficiency, hypotension and people who are often dizzy should not soak their feet with too hot water or soak in hot springs for a long time. Because soaking feet in hot water or soaking in hot springs will dilate blood vessels, and the whole body blood will flow from important organs to the body surface, leading to ischemia and hypoxia of important organs such as heart and brain.
I feel a little wet after soaking in the back, or I have sweat on my forehead, just fine. Be careful not to sweat. Because sweat is the liquid of the heart, sweating too much will make you sad. As long as you sweat a little, the meridians run through from top to bottom, which is a way to prove whether the meridians are unblocked. Some people sweat after 20 minutes, some people sweat after a long time, and some people don't sweat at all.
